Private Husky Lodge Experience

We specialise in exclusive, small-scale journeys designed for guests who want a more personal and authentic way to experience Northern Norway. Instead of large groups and fast-paced tourism, our guests travel at a slower rhythm — spending time in nature, with the dogs, at sea, and with the people who live here.

Our experiences take place both on land and along the Arctic coastline, combining dogsledding, sailing and wilderness travel across seasons.

In winter, dogsledding in the Tromsø region is at the heart of what we do. Guests learn to drive their own team of sled dogs and travel through quiet Arctic landscapes where nature sets the pace. Rather than short rides, we focus on real dogsledding experiences with time, depth and a strong connection to the environment.

What truly sets OffTrack Experience apart are our overnight dogsledding tours and multi-day wilderness expeditions, taking guests further into the Arctic than typical day tours. Evenings are spent in remote nature, often under the northern lights, sharing a warm meal after a day on the trail.

At sea, we offer small-group Arctic sailing experiences along the northern Norwegian coast. From ski & sail adventures in spring to whale watching and orca snorkelling tours in early winter, our boat-based journeys follow the same philosophy: small groups, remote places, and meaningful experiences.

Whether travelling by sled or sailboat, all experiences are private or limited to very small groups, and always personally hosted by us. We share everyday Arctic life with our guests — from working with the dogs to life at sea and in the wilderness.

Food is an important part of the experience. We serve seasonal meals based on local ingredients, including wild moose, fish, and produce from the region. Vegetarian and vegan options are always available, and we are happy to accommodate dietary preferences.

OffTrack Experience is for travellers who value nature, authenticity, privacy, and local knowledge — and who are looking for Arctic experiences in Tromsø beyond traditional mass tourism.

Accessibility

Our base is located in a rural area in the Tromsø region. We offer daily pick-up from Bardufoss and private transfers from Tromsø or Narvik on request.

Due to the nature of dogsledding and wilderness travel, a moderate level of mobility is required. Please contact us to discuss individual needs.

Families and children

Dogsledding tours are generally suitable for children from around 8–10 years old.

Private trips can be adapted, and younger children may join on request.

Overnight expeditions are best suited for older children, teenagers, and adults.

Environmental certification and sustainability
